UPDATE 1-Clinton says cyber attacks merit 'consequences' 8:20am EST (Adds fresh quote, details and background) WASHINGTON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday called for consequences and condemnation for those who carry out cyber attacks, in excerpts of a speech expected to address Google Inc.'s <GOOG.O> concerns about China. "Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation. In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all," Clinton said in excerpts released ahead of a speech to be delivered in Washington at 9:30 EDT (1430 GMT). "By reinforcing that message, we can create norms of behavior among states and encourage respect for the global networked commons." A U.S. official said Clinton would also speak to Internet search engine giant Google's concerns that it had been targeted by sophisticated cyber-spying from China. Clinton's speech on Internet freedom could be seen in Beijing as throwing down a gauntlet, a week after search engine giant Google said it had been the target of sophisticated cyber-spying from China. China sought to contain tension with the United States over online censorship and hacking, saying Google's dispute with Beijing should not be over-stated. China's relations are already troubled by quarrels over trade, Taiwan and human rights. Google said it may shut its Chinese-language google.cn website and offices in China after a cyber-attack originating from China that also targeted others. But many in China see Google's ultimatum as a business tactic because its market share trails the popular Chinese search site Baidu. (Reporting by Arshad Mohammed; writing by David Morgan)
